A walk in the mist

A walk in the mist
Like a scene from the apocalypse, a lone figure walks through the mist. His mission is a mystery, mine.... to capture all this.
As usual, best viewed full screen on black.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

Oh wow! This is brilliant Herb...................such a fantastic atmosphere! The lone figure is just perfect as are the leading lines from the fence and pathway. I especially like the hint of sunlight coming into the shot upper right.

A work of art my friend and an instant favourite for me. HFF and have a super weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Hi again Keith. Another to wow you here - I must be doing something right! Yes, when I first saw this I thought it a favourite of mine too. Hints of the old masters paintings perhaps and that does for me.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Hi Roger. Quite often I wait until such figures are out of the frame before shooting but in this case, as you say, it seemed to help the scene. Glad you liked it.

A magic day Toz. Been there again today, at the exact position as I took this and it was nought. Light is everything. But -the water has risen significantly in the reservoirs -that must be good.

A wonderful image Herb mist and fog transforms everything, I'm puzzled bt the rectangle on the left, I hope you have a HFF
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter Castell club
Glad you like this too Peter. The rainbow in the bottom left is a product of light refraction within this lens I think. A small powerful beam of light was hitting the front corner element as I shot. The lens was clean and no filter used but one never really knows how these things happen -maybe a tiny water droplet from the mist? This quality Nikon lens is normally flare and refraction free.

Excellently captured! Corresponds exactly to the ideas of a typical November day.

HFF Herb!
A bit a comfort is, that the hiker leaves the darkest part of the image - and steps toward sun and light.
May I ask, where you took this photo? Not a lot of it looks typical britsh/english. But I well know, what it is about "typical" ... ;-)
Have a nice weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Leon_Vienna club
Thank you Leon. Very happy that this image both pleases and intrigues you. I know that this image looks quite different depending on your viewing screen. My Ipad look far darker than my PC monitor. I say that because the darkest part on my monitor here, it still looks fairly bright.
This scene is just about 4KM from my home in Oldham, North West England, so very British! Glad you liked it.

Holy cow, Herb! This picture really does look like it came straight out of a movie! I love everything about it, from the person disappearing into the mist, to the fantastic leading line of the fence, to the misty scene and moody atmosphere of the whole image. Wonderful. Your photography is wonderful. :)

Herb Riddle club has replied to Janet Brien club
Janet, once again you Honour Me with your words here. My photography only comes from a guy who love landscape photography, and to me , that means capturing light and p.o.v's. I must admit that some of my photo taking is helped by a vivid imagination. - Its just my pleasure to share such scenes to a wide audience such as in the case of our HFF group here and the resulting accolade such as this drives me even further. My friend, my thanks!
